Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Les and Teddy are always brilliant to work with - so helpful and so friendly. They make travel easy and such a joy. Thank you again
Declan really took the time to understand our expectations and matched them perfectly!
TUI need to improve a) their app - it was impossible, even with your help, to check in both times and b) to let people know if they cancel your flight and put you on another leaving 2 hrs later. No word or apology and had to rearrange onward travel having arrived unnecessarily early at the airport. None of this DAF's fault!
Fantastic service especially from Chris Briggs, who we have used for the past few years. A wonderful holiday, great hotel and the flight times were perfect.
Aidan was very helpful throughout
Bradley is very good
Eric was very helpful sorting out our holiday so a big thank you. He listened to what we asked for and put everything together for us perfectly. We had a brilliant holiday
Sam Nott brilliant as ever. Service faultless.
Thanks to Kylie and her colleagues for their courteous, prompt and effective response to a last-minute emergency, which required a rapid change of flights, car-parking, etc. If ever a case needed to be made for using DialAFlight, rather than flying independently, this was it!
DialAFlight stuck with me through a worrying time while I was in Corfu and had to come home early. Thank you Gareth .
Tony is brilliant!
My first time using DialAFlight and Jed took time to get to know what we wanted. On another note I asked if he could do us a trip to Egypt which was a bit complicated but he managed so we’ve booked another one. Jed has been very professional and helpful
Fabulous trip
Tony, as always, did a good job
Terrific help from Tom
Only problem we had was our hire car from Hertz broke down 30 minutes after leavlng the airport and we had to wait over 2 hours for recovery...
Always use DialAFlight to organise my overseas trips - a very reliable service with great communication. Amy is brilliant but if she is not available there is always an alternative team member to help. I recommend DialAFlight to all my friends if they need help in planning an overseas trip
Edward gave us excellent service in a friendly and professional manner and was happy to help us with amendments and to offer great advice. He recommended a fabulous resort and we will definitely go back. We will also use DialAFlight again thanks to the great service we received.
As usual, Jonathan Greaves who always helps me with my flights, was fantastic
Philippa was very helpful and recommended a hotel which matched all of our requirements. We are very happy with the service DialAFlight provides
John Huff and the team delivered 100% as aways
Always worth contacting Harry and the team for options and they can quickly search for different holidays if you are not sure. You get a quick response even if they have to ring back.
We arrived at Kalamata airport but there was no transport waiting for us. We called the hotel and over an hour later a different car was dispatched to take us to the hotel. Not the ideal start to the holiday.
Always great service from your company and staff
Todd was EXCEPTIONAL from start to finish. He gave lots of help when deciding the destination, taking into account all our requirements and the communication was excellent! Cannot wait to book our next holiday with you
Ferries from Corfu to Paxos are unreliable. Our return ferry was cancelled the night before. We were put on a later ferry and just made the flight. It might be worth noting and suggesting an extra night in Corfu at the end of the holiday.
Great trip with very professional support
Hotel was fabulous. Great place. All really smooth
Loved it! 5 stars
Really appreciated Wayne and the team's fast and excellent support from choosing the hotel to quick response with an initial hitch on arriving there
How do you create a hotel in the most stunning setting you can imagine? By carving its amazing rooms into a cliff face formed by a mighty volcanic eruption. Stepping into Iconic Santorini's spectacular hillside setting is an experience that is nothing short of breathtaking.
And being faced with the cobalt Aegean Sea and the tiny white-washed buildings of the astonishingly picturesque village of Imerovigli does not get any less incredible as the days roll on.
The epitome of relaxed elegance, this unforgettable boutique cave hotel features five levels carved from the volcanic wall of Santorini's caldera - each of the 22 beautiful rooms offering its own style.
Aiming for an authentic Greek appearance with a luxurious edge, these distinctive residences come with plush amenities, including Coco-mat linens, huge beds and heated indoor pools.
Homely and relaxing, yet contemporary, these one-of-a-kind rooms all offer splendid views of the caldera from a personal veranda, where guests are welcome to enjoy breakfast in the morning.
Those staying in the Caldera Suites are lucky enough to be able to glimpse the jaw-dropping vista from their own outdoor jetted pool on their private terrace.
Greek hospitality
Eating at Iconic Santorini feels like being welcomed as a new member of a Greek family, with a whole host of mouth-watering traditional dishes and Santorini wine on offer in the Pergola Restaurant.
While relaxation is certainly the name of the game, with an on-site spa available to all guests, those wishing to work off that indulgent feta can sweat it out in the hotel's wellness and fitness centre.
And if staring out at the azure waters or soaking in the sumptuous infinity pool ever gets boring - which it won't - a number of tourist attractions are a mere stone's throw away, including the romantic city village of Oia, famed for its breathtaking sunset, and the quaint town of Fira.
With wine being one of Santorini's most famous exports, an afternoon of tasting is advisable, with the Argyros Estate Winery, Hatzidakis Winery and Santo Wines Cooperative all close by.
Meanwhile, the island is steeped in history, and those wishing to delve a little deeper below Santorini's picturesque exterior will be able to discover the ancient Thera archaeological site, or the pre-historic city of Akrotiri.
Although Iconic Santorini offers all the positives a chic boutique hotel should - luxury amenities, decadent surroundings and friendly and helpful staff - it is the magical caldera setting that really takes your breath away.
Ancient caldera
Santorini is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. This means it is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago that destroyed the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single, much bigger island, and created the current geological caldera.
The eruption may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilisation on the island of Crete, 68 miles to the south, through a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory is that it is the source of the legend of the lost city of Atlantis.
Now, a giant central, rectangular lagoon, about 12km by 7 km is surrounded by soaring cliffs on three sides. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia. Two channels connect the lagoon to the sea - and all combining to create a simply spectacular setting.
My lasting memories are of magnificent views and an altogether unforgettable stay.
